User questions & answers

Question:	How do you keep the display on the front from turning off after a few seconds? My screen stays blank unless I hit display or adjust the volume
Answer:	It’s 9 channels powered. 2 outputs for the subs If you are wiring 11 channels you will need an additional 2 channel amp or go to the 6700h
Question:	Does this allow hdr passthrough for xbox one x
Answer:	SURE CAN! I HAVE A FIRESTICK (4K) PLUGGED INTO A HDMI PORT ON THE BACK, AND IT PERFORMS PERFECTLY. I DO BOTH AMAZON AND NETFLIX FROM IT, BETTER THAN LG APPLICATION TV USES.
Question:	Tv has amazon and netflix. when i turn the receiver to tv mod and try to watch either netflix or amazon i can get the picture but no sound. thoughs
Answer:	I have not heard a 3500, and I own a 4500. According to this reference (https://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/2973392-official-2018-denon-s-series-x-series-avr-owner-s-thread-faq-posts-1-8-a.html) what the 4500 adds over 3500 is below. Looks like the 3500 does not have AL32 processing, which is significant imo. Also the 3500 will not get the "IMAX Enhanced" certification & modes coming to the X4500 and 6500 (no one knows if those are any good, but worth noting). --- Upgrading from the X3500H adds: 2 additional on board amps for 9CH on board processing (ie. 7.1.2 or 5.1.4; with capability to expand to 11CH processing (ie. 7.1.4) using an external 2CH amp), 11.2 main zone pre-outs, Zone 3 (same inputs as Zone 2 except not HDMI), a 2nd 12v trigger, front panel display of speaker inputs (or outputs), metal front panel with 2 line display, Custom 2 CH main zone settings (using FL/FR or dedicated Front B; LARGE/SMALL; crossover settings, sub – on/off, distance, level), two internal cooling fans, Auro 3D/Auromatic, AL32 Processing, Bass Sync; Remote Control able to store preset codes from other mfr devices (see below) and the ability to add Auro 3D Voice of God/Top Surround via the Subwoofer pre-out 2 only. Audyssey (but not Dynamic EQ, Dynamic Volume, LFC) enabled when DTS Virtual:X is selected. ---
Question:	Found a bug. when playing music and i turn on the tv, gets stuck in muting/unmuting loop until a reboot. dae see this
Answer:	Will not pass through 4k @ 120Hz or 8k @ 60Hz do to a bottleneck of the Panasonic chip used. This impacts the all the 2020 Denon AVRs and most mfg claiming HDMI 2.1 compatible. The work around us to connect your pc or console directly to your HDMI 2.1 TV and use the TVs eARC back to the AVR. Even then not all TVs pass lossless via eARC equally.

User questions & answers

Question:	Even though there is no subwoofer output, can one be connected anyway
Answer:	NO!! There are line out jacks but they are fixed, not variable. This means when you turn the volume knob up and down, the volume to the subwoofer stays the same level. See page 10 of the manual here: https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/2/794512/web_ZU46020_R-S202_om_UA_En.pdf
Question:	What is the Bluetooth range
Answer:	There are 3 classes of BT devices. The ranges are under 10m (Class3); 10m (Class2) and 100m (Class3). The range you get between two devices will be the range of the least powerful device. If that's a cell phone streaming music, expect less than ten meters. If it is a computer with a Class2 BT radio, expect a solid ten meters. But the only way you will get more than ten meters (30 feet) reliably, is if both devices are Class 3. And portable devices rarely are.
Question:	can i hook up my turmtable as well
Answer:	I have a question more than answer. My turntable is the rather cheap, ION LP mp3 converter, it has a built in preamp, has a pair of red white RCA output. BUT, WHEN I PLUG IT INTO THE #3 RCA PORT, AS INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT PAGE FOR TURNTABLE, the speakers have no sound. Now, my "speaker" is a Yamaha HS5 monitor, it's hooked to the OUT RCA port via a 1/4" jack at the back of the monitor. I suppose I'll have to use proper hi-fi speakers connected via the loose wire ports?
Question:	So can this fit a total of 4 100watt speakers at once OR 4 25watt speakers at most
Answer:	100 "X" multiplied by 4 = 400 watts max, and multiple speakers can be connected to single channels if you have a full understanding of OHM's and how the wattage changes with different connections, but a single speaker on each channel that matches up closely at least in OHM's and watts will sound best, but multiple 25watt speakers would be fine on a 100watt channel, and with 4-100watt channels that can be repeated if desired, but if that's done with high power low ohm speakers, they will over draw power and burn up the reciever/amplifier and all this information is found via browser search, or just go basic and match printed numbers and sound great and dont worry about it burning up because of something you did.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this unit come with a and b speakers? in other words. i want to put a second set of speakers outside on my patio
Answer:	You need a tv or monitor that is capable of hdmi to use the on screen setup. U can setup music without a tv using the demon AVR app
Question:	can this take a output of 1440p at 60hz from a pc and pass through to the tv
Answer:	Thanks very much for your question. The connections are preamp outputs which are intended for use with a powered sub. A passive sub will not run off this receiver. World Wide Stereo is 38 years old and a proud, authorized Denon dealer.
Question:	Can I watch tv through this unit while listening to radio or playing an album
Answer:	don’t use the headphone jack for your wireless speakers. Connecting anything to headphones Jack or aux Jack usually will remove sound from going to your hooked up speakers. If the speakers are wireless, are they Bluetooth or WiFi? See if you can use that feature on the Denon receiver to pair the wireless speakers.
Question:	Whats the difference between the v685 and the v685bl
Answer:	Hey Ike, This unit has 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Thanks, Denon North America

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use the mb42x-c speakers even though impedance varies between 4 to 8 ohms? the receiver impedance says 6-16 ohms. will i be ok
Answer:	My Sony PS-LX250H works very nicely with this receiver. There is no phono input. So I plugged the red and white RCA's into the SAT/CATV input jack.
Question:	So this connects multiple speakers with Bluetooth
Answer:	40 watts
Question:	are the hdmi inputs actual inputs or just pass thru
Answer:	Dear Consumer, thanks for your question! Pls kindly noted that it doesn't work that way. The subwoofer acts like your echo studio. You pair a sound source device (phone, tablet, laptop,TV) to the subwoofer together with speakers to play sound from. For the method of connection pls check the description in this page, for more questions, pls feel free to contact [email protected].
Question:	I'm looking for a good sony reciever that i can hook my turntable up to from the back
Answer:	Yes. I used a single RCA Male to Male, then a Y adapter to go from RCA Female to 2 RCA Males. Works very well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this device support the SiriusXM internet radio
Answer:	It does not have an input for a dedicated XM or Sirius Tuner as some earlier SONY receivers did. It has an internal input for "Music Services" but the only two supported are Chromecast and Spotify. Pretty lame. However, with the addition of another device that is capable of streaming SiriusXM (such as Sony Blu Ray player BDP-S3700), you can stream SiriusXM. If you have a good universal remote control (I am using a Harmony Ultimate), the integrated control of the receiver and streaming SiriusXM is fairly easy to program.
Question:	Why does the manufacturer keep replying here that dolby vision is not supported? it clearly says on the sony website that dolby vision is supported
Answer:	Hi there! We do apologize for the confusion. The Sony STRDN1080 is indeed compatible with Dolby Vision. Here is the link for more details. https://docs.sony.com/release//Help_4686526113.pdf. -Jerome
Question:	Can i simultaneously play video from different sources on the two hdmi out ports? please do not post the link to sony's page as it does not help
Answer:	Yes you can! I just received mine and I had seen conflicting answers on this question all across the internet. When you set the HDMI Out B to HDMI Zone, you can display and hear your computer on your main TV and your Xbox One on your gaming TV.
Question:	How would you connect additional Dolby Atmos speakers to this, in an existing 7.1 speaker system setup
Answer:	Dolby Atmos is a speaker configuration incorporating downward firing speakers. You would use the “height” channel speakers as the Dolby Atmos speaker channel, by either installing speakers in the ceiling, or get Dolby Atmos Projection speakers that sit on top of your front surround speakers. You may be able to rig certain speakers as downward firing speakers, however I could consult a Dolby atmos installation guide as they have all the ideal placement specifications for the ideal audio balance/ experience. Dolby Atmos In home theatres is usually a 7.1, 9.1, or 11.1 set up. With 2,4 or up to 6 speakers being placed in the downward firing position e.g ceiling mounted and facing down.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use my sirius radio on this unit
Answer:	If its through your phone or some other Bluetooth device.
Question:	Bluetooth range
Answer:	I had to be directly in front of the receiver to sync. I could pick up music from my cell up to 50 feet before it started loosing the signal.
Question:	i noticed a l&r sub output. that means i can have a left and and a right sub added and get the stereo effect of the bass
Answer:	There is a single pre-out for connection to a powered subwoofer. You could use an RCA cable splitter if you really need two powered subs. However please note that due to the large wavelength (low frequency) of the sound waves in question the human ear is not sensitive to their directionality. That's just a matter of physics. Toward the other end of the frequency spectrum, sound waves are very dense and the human ear is hypersensitive to directionality; hence the popularity of 'point source' concentric drivers etc.
Question:	Can you send to a/b outputs at the same time, or do you have to use exclusively a or b
Answer:	If you are talking about playing speakers A and speakers B at the same time, then yes you can.
